Yes. Use the "Keep" radio button at the top of the chooser page. Then switch to the "Not Installed" view, find your package, and select it for installation. Switch to the "Partial" view to see exactly what will be installed. Be aware that the package you'll be installing may depend on the features found in the newer versions of existing packages, in which case you'd have to upgrade those. > If not, what is the best way to add just one new package. Also, don't forget the dependencies -- adding "just one" package may pull in others that that one package depends on.
